Technical Field

[0003] The following relates to wireless communications, including the indication of uplink resources via uplink control information. Background Art

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, etc. These systems may be able to support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems (such as long term evolution (LTE) systems, advanced LTE (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems) and fifth generation (5G) systems (which may be referred to as new radio (NR) systems). These systems may employ techniques such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple access communication system may include one or more base stations, each of which supports wireless communication for communication devices, which may be referred to as user equipment (UE). Summary of the Invention

[0005] The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support indication of uplink resources via uplink control information (UCI). For example, the described techniques allow a user equipment (UE) to indicate additional information associated with one or more uplink resources configured for the UE via UCI. For example, a UE 115 may autonomously determine to skip or otherwise not use one or more uplink resources associated with a configuration grant. Accordingly, the UE may transmit UCI via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), wherein the UCI includes an indication that the UE is skipping (e.g., not using the one or more uplink resources to transmit a signal) the one or more uplink resources. That is, the UE may transmit an indication of additional information in the UCI, wherein, in one example, the additional information is associated with the UE skipping one or more uplink resource opportunities configured for the UE. By indicating this additional information to the network entity, the network entity may reuse or reschedule such skipped resources for use by other UEs, thereby providing more efficient utilization of communication resources and improved coordination between devices. In some aspects, the UE may send the additional information via the UCI according to various techniques (e.g., based on the format of the PUCCH carrying the UCI, or based on the number of bits of the corresponding information included in the UCI, or both).

[0078] In some wireless communication systems, a user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration grant indicating one or more periodic uplink resources, allowing the UE to transmit uplink data via the periodic uplink resources without having to send a scheduling request or receive a corresponding resource grant for the uplink resources. That is, the UE may receive the configuration grant and use the uplink resources in the configuration grant to transmit uplink data according to the corresponding periodicity of the uplink resources, thereby reducing the latency associated with sending the scheduling request and reducing the overhead associated with downlink control information.

[0079] However, in some cases, when the UE may not have data to send, the UE may autonomously determine to skip an opportunity for uplink resources (e.g., avoid using an opportunity for uplink resources to send data). In such cases, the network entity may continue to monitor the opportunity for uplink resources for uplink messages from the UE without receiving any uplink messages (e.g., because the UE skipped data transmission at that opportunity). Therefore, if the UE autonomously determines to skip one or more uplink resources associated with a configuration grant, the network entity may not have an indication of such skipped resources, resulting in inefficient use of resources, increased latency, etc.

[0080] In some implementations, a UE may dynamically indicate skipped uplink resources to a network entity so that the network entity can reschedule such resources for other UEs. For example, a UE may receive a configuration for uplink control information (UCI) that supports an indication of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback, an indication of a scheduling request, an indication of channel state information (CSI), and an indication of additional information. In some cases, the indication of additional information indicates that the UE is to skip one or more uplink resources configured for the UE. Thus, based on the configuration, the UE may send UCI via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), where the UCI includes at least one of an indication of HARQ feedback, an indication of a scheduling request, an indication of CSI, or an indication of additional information (e.g., an indication of skipped resources). Although the indication of skipped resources is provided as an example of additional information indicated via UCI, the indication of additional information can be used for other signaling transmitted by the UE via UCI (e.g., using the same or similar techniques described herein), and the examples provided herein should not be considered as limiting the scope of the claims or the present disclosure. For example, the indication of additional information can include one or more of the following: an on-demand synchronization signal block (SSB) request, an on-demand system information block 1 (SIB1) request, a guard interval length update request, a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) update request, etc.

[0081] In this way, the UE can dynamically send an indication of additional information (e.g., an indication of skipped resources) to the network entity, thereby improving coordination between devices and achieving more efficient utilization of communication resources. For example, by sending additional information in UCI, the UE can indicate to the network entity which uplink resources can be skipped, thereby improving coordination between the UE and the network entity. In addition, by sending the additional information, the network entity can reschedule the skipped resources for use by other UEs, resulting in more efficient utilization of communication resources in the wireless communication system. In addition, if the UE signals the additional information via UCI, the UE and the network entity can experience a reduction in signaling overhead. For example, by providing additional information via UCI (e.g., in addition to HARQ feedback, scheduling requests and / or CSI), the UE can avoid sending such information via one or more additional uplink messages, thereby reducing signaling overhead and achieving efficient allocation and use of uplink resources in the wireless communication system.

[0082] The indication of additional information and the indication of a scheduling request, the indication of HARQ feedback, the indication of CSI, or any combination thereof may be signaled via UCI according to various techniques based on the format of the PUCCH and the number of bits in each indication. As an example, when the PUCCH is configured as PUCCH format 0 and based on the number of bits used for each of the indication of additional information, the indication of a scheduling request, and the indication of HARQ feedback, different cyclic shift values ​​may be used to send at least one of the indication of additional information, the indication of a scheduling request, or the indication of HARQ feedback. Additionally or alternatively, when the PUCCH is configured as PUCCH format 1, a specific set of resources and / or a specific modulation scheme may be used to send the indication of additional information, or the indication of a scheduling request, or the indication of HARQ feedback, or any combination thereof. In other examples, such as when the PUCCH is configured as PUCCH format 2, 3, or 4, information bits associated with an indication of additional information may be multiplexed with corresponding information bits associated with an indication of a scheduling request, an indication of HARQ feedback, an indication of CSI, or any combination thereof. In such examples, one or more priority rules may determine the order (e.g., priority order, mapping order) of the information bits of each indication included in the UCI.

[0083] Various aspects of the present disclosure are first described in the context of a wireless communication system. Various aspects of the present disclosure are further described in the context of cyclic shift diagrams and process flows. Various aspects of the present disclosure are further illustrated and described by and with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flow diagrams related to indicating uplink resources via UCI.

[0084] Figure 1An example of a wireless communication system 100 that supports indication of uplink resources via UCI according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. The wireless communication system 100 may include one or more network entities 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an Advanced LTE (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, a New Radio (NR) network, or a network operating according to other systems and radio technologies, including future systems and radio technologies not explicitly mentioned herein.

[0085] The network entities 105 may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communication system 100 and may include devices in different forms or with different capabilities. In various examples, the network entities 105 may be referred to as network elements, mobility elements, radio access network (RAN) nodes, or network equipment, among other nomenclature. In some examples, the network entities 105 and the UEs 115 may communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125 (e.g., radio frequency (RF) access links). For example, the network entities 105 may support a coverage area 110 (e.g., a geographic coverage area) within which the UEs 115 and the network entities 105 may establish one or more communication links 125. The coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area within which the network entities 105 and the UEs 115 may support signal communication according to one or more radio access technologies (RATs).

[0086] The UEs 115 may be dispersed throughout the coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 may be stationary or mobile or both stationary and mobile at different times. The UEs 115 may be devices that take different forms or have different capabilities. Figure 1 Some example UEs 115 are illustrated in FIG. The UEs 115 described herein may be capable of supporting communications with various types of devices, such as Figure 1 Other UEs 115 or network entities 105 are shown.

[0087] As described herein, a node of the wireless communication system 100 (which may be referred to as a network node or wireless node) may be a network entity 105 (e.g., any network entity described herein), a UE 115 (e.g., any UE described herein), a network controller, an apparatus, a device, a computing system, one or more components, or another suitable processing entity configured to perform any of the techniques described herein. For example, the node may be a UE 115. As another example, the node may be a network entity 105. As another example, a first node may be configured to communicate with a second node or a third node. In one aspect of this example, the first node may be a UE 115, the second node may be a network entity 105, and the third node may be a UE 115. In another aspect of this example, the first node may be a UE 115, the second node may be a network entity 105, and the third node may be a network entity 105. In other aspects of this example, the first node, the second node, and the third node may be different relative to these examples. Similarly, references to UE 115, network entity 105, apparatus, device, computing system, etc. may include disclosure of UE 115, network entity 105, apparatus, device, computing system, etc. as nodes. For example, a disclosure that UE 115 is configured to receive information from network entity 105 also discloses that the first node is configured to receive information from the second node.

[0088] In some examples, network entities 105 can communicate with core network 130, with each other, or both. For example, network entities 105 can communicate with core network 130 via one or more backhaul communication links 120 (e.g., according to S1, N2, N3, or other interface protocols). In some examples, network entities 105 can communicate with each other directly (e.g., directly between network entities 105) or indirectly (e.g., via core network 130) via backhaul communication links 120 (e.g., according to X2, Xn, or other interface protocols). In some examples, network entities 105 can communicate with each other via midhaul communication links 162 (e.g., according to a midhaul interface protocol) or fronthaul communication links 168 (e.g., according to a fronthaul interface protocol), or any combination thereof. Backhaul communication links 120, midhaul communication links 162, or fronthaul communication links 168 can be or include one or more wired links (e.g., electrical links, fiber optic links), one or more wireless links (e.g., radio links, wireless optical links), etc., or various combinations thereof. UE 115 may communicate with core network 130 via communication link 155 .

[0089] One or more of the network entities 105 described herein may include or may be referred to as a base station 140 (e.g., a base transceiver station, a radio base station, an NR base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a Node B, an evolved Node B (eNB), a next-generation Node B, or a gigabit Node B (any of which may be referred to as a gNB), a 5G NB, a next-generation eNB (ng-eNB), a Home Node B, a Home evolved Node B, or other suitable terminology). In some examples, the network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) may be implemented in a converged (e.g., monolithic, stand-alone) base station architecture that may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single network entity 105 (e.g., a single RAN node, such as the base station 140).

[0090] In some examples, the network entity 105 can be implemented in a disaggregated architecture (e.g., a disaggregated base station architecture, a disaggregated RAN architecture) that can be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed between two or more network entities 105, such as an integrated access backhaul (IAB) network, an open RAN (O-RAN) (e.g., a network configuration sponsored by the O-RAN Alliance), or a virtualized RAN (vRAN) (e.g., a cloud RAN (C-RAN)). For example, the network entity 105 can include one or more of the following: a central unit (CU) 160, a distributed unit (DU) 165, a radio unit (RU) 170, a RAN intelligent controller (RIC) 175 (e.g., a near real-time RIC (near RT RIC), a non-real-time RIC (non-RT RIC)), a service management and orchestration (SMO) 180 system, or any combination thereof. The RU 170 may also be referred to as a radio head, smart radio head, remote radio head (RRH), remote radio unit (RRU), or transmit receive point (TRP). One or more components of the network entity 105 in the disaggregated RAN architecture may be co-located, or one or more components of the network entity 105 may be located in distributed locations (e.g., separate physical locations). In some examples, one or more network entities 105 of the disaggregated RAN architecture may be implemented as virtual units (e.g., virtual CU (VCU), virtual DU (VDU), virtual RU (VRU)).

[0091] The functional split between CU 160, DU 165, and RU 170 is flexible and can support different functionalities depending on which functions (e.g., network layer functions, protocol layer functions, baseband functions, RF functions, and any combination thereof) are performed at CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170. For example, a functional split of a protocol stack can be employed between CU 160 and DU 165 such that CU 160 can support one or more layers of a protocol stack and DU 165 can support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. In some examples, CU 160 can host higher protocol layer (e.g., Layer 3 (L3), Layer 2 (L2)) functionality and signaling (e.g., Radio Resource Control (RRC), Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP), Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP)). The CU 160 may be connected to one or more DUs 165 or RUs 170, and the one or more DUs 165 or RUs 170 may host lower protocol layers, such as Layer 1 (L1) (e.g., physical (PHY) layer) or L2 (e.g., radio link control (RLC) layer, medium access control (MAC) layer) functionality and signaling, and may each be at least partially controlled by the CU 160. Additionally or alternatively, a functional split of the protocol stack may be employed between the DU 165 and the RU 170, such that the DU 165 may support one or more layers of the protocol stack and the RU 170 may support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. The DU 165 may support one or more different cells (e.g., via one or more RUs 170). In some cases, the functional split between the CU 160 and the DU 165 or between the DU 165 and the RU 170 can be within the protocol layer (e.g., some functions of the protocol layer can be performed by one of the CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170, while other functions of the protocol layer are performed by a different one of the CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170). The CU 160 can be further functionally split into CU control plane (CU-CP) and CU user plane (CU-UP) functions. The CU 160 can be connected to one or more DUs 165 via midhaul communication links 162 (e.g., F1, F1-c, F1-u), and the DU 165 can be connected to one or more RUs 170 via fronthaul communication links 168 (e.g., open fronthaul (FH) interface). In some examples, midhaul communication link 162 or fronthaul communication link 168 may be implemented according to interfaces (eg, channels) between layers of a protocol stack supported by respective network entities 105 communicating via these communication links.

[0092] In some wireless communication systems (e.g., wireless communication system 100), the infrastructure and spectrum resources for radio access may support wireless backhaul link capabilities to supplement wired backhaul connections, thereby providing an IAB network architecture (e.g., to the core network 130). In some cases, in an IAB network, one or more network entities 105 (e.g., IAB nodes 104) may be partially controlled by each other. One or more IAB nodes 104 may be referred to as a donor entity or IAB donor. One or more DUs 165 or one or more RUs 170 may be partially controlled by one or more CUs 160 associated with a donor network entity 105 (e.g., a donor base station 140). One or more donor network entities 105 (e.g., IAB donors) may communicate with one or more additional network entities 105 (e.g., IAB nodes 104) via supported access and backhaul links (e.g., backhaul communication links 120). The IAB node 104 may include an IAB mobile terminal (IAB-MT) controlled (e.g., scheduled) by the DU 165 of the coupled IAB donor. The IAB-MT may include an independent set of antennas for relaying communications with the UE 115, or may share the same antennas of the IAB node 104 (e.g., RU 170) for access via the DU 165 of the IAB node 104 (e.g., referred to as a virtual IAB-MT (vIAB-MT)). In some examples, the IAB node 104 may include a DU 165 that supports communication links with additional entities (e.g., IAB node 104, UE 115) within a relay chain or configuration (e.g., downstream) of the access network. In such cases, one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture (e.g., one or more IAB nodes 104 or components of the IAB node 104) may be configured to operate according to the techniques described herein.

[0093] For example, an access network (AN) or RAN may include communications between an access node (e.g., an IAB donor), an IAB node 104, and one or more UEs 115. The IAB donor may facilitate connectivity between the core network 130 and the AN (e.g., via a wired or wireless connection to the core network 130). That is, the IAB donor may refer to a RAN node that has a wired or wireless connection to the core network 130. The IAB donor may include a CU 160 and at least one DU 165 (e.g., and RU 170), wherein the CU 160 may communicate with the core network 130 via an interface (e.g., a backhaul link). The IAB donor and the IAB node 104 may communicate via the F1 interface according to a protocol that defines signaling messages (e.g., the F1 AP protocol). Additionally or alternatively, CU 160 may communicate with the core network via an interface (which may be an example of a portion of a backhaul link) and may communicate with other CUs 160 (e.g., CUs 160 associated with alternative IAB donors) via an Xn-C interface (which may be an example of a portion of a backhaul link).

[0094] In the context of a decomposed RAN architecture, one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture may be configured to support the indication of uplink resources via UCI as described herein. For example, some operations described as being performed by the UE 115 or the network entity 105 (e.g., the base station 140) may additionally or alternatively be performed by one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture (e.g., the IAB node 104, the DU 165, the CU 160, the RU 170, the RIC 175, the SMO 180).

[0095] UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where "device" may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, etc. UE 115 may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine type communication (MTC) device, etc., which may be implemented in various objects, such as appliances or vehicles, meters, etc.

[0096] The UE 115 described herein may be capable of communicating with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115, which may sometimes act as relays, as well as network entities 105 and network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, etc. Figure 1 shown.

[0097] The UE 115 and the network entity 105 may wirelessly communicate with each other via one or more communication links 125 (e.g., access links) using resources associated with one or more carriers. The term "carrier" may refer to a collection of RF spectrum resources having a physical layer structure defined for supporting the communication link 125. For example, a carrier used for the communication link 125 may include a portion of an RF spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth portion (BWP)) that operates according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling for coordinating carrier operations, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communication system 100 may support communications with the UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. Depending on the carrier aggregation configuration, the UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers. Carrier aggregation may be used for both frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) component carriers. Communication between the network entity 105 and other devices may refer to communication between those devices and any portion (e.g., entity, sub-entity) of the network entity 105. For example, the terms "send," "receive," or "communicate" when referring to the network entity 105 may refer to any portion of the network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, CU 160, DU 165, RU 170) of the RAN communicating with another device (e.g., directly or via one or more other network entities 105).

[0098] The signal waveform transmitted via the carrier may include multiple subcarriers (e.g., using a multicarrier modulation (MCM) technique such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may refer to the resource of one symbol period (e.g., the duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, where the symbol period and subcarrier spacing may be inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both), such that a relatively high number of resource elements (e.g., in the transmission duration) and a relatively high order modulation scheme may correspond to a relatively high communication rate. Wireless communication resources may refer to a combination of RF spectrum resources, time resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial resources may increase the data rate or data integrity used for communication with UE 115.

[0099] The time interval for the network entity 105 or the UE 115 can be expressed as a multiple of a basic time unit, which can be, for example, a sampling period Ts =1 / (Δf max ·N f ) seconds, for which Δf max It can represent the supported subcarrier spacing, and N f The supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size may be indicated. Time intervals of communication resources may be organized according to radio frames, each radio frame having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0100] Each frame may include a plurality of consecutively numbered subframes or time slots, and each subframe or time slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided into subframes (e.g., in the time domain), and each subframe may be further divided into a certain number of time slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of time slots, and the number of time slots may depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each time slot may include a certain number of symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix appended to the front of each symbol period). In some wireless communication systems 100, the time slot may be further divided into a plurality of micro-time slots associated with one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may be associated with one or more (e.g., N f The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or the operating frequency band.

[0101] A subframe, slot, mini-slot, or symbol may be the minimum scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communication system 100 and may be referred to as a Transmit Time Interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the minimum scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in a burst of a shortened TTI (sTTI)).

[0102] Physical channels may be multiplexed according to various techniques for communication using a carrier. For example, physical control channels and physical data channels may be multiplexed using one or more of time division multiplexing (TDM), frequency division multiplexing (FDM), or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques for signaling via a downlink carrier. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) of a physical control channel may be defined by a set of symbol periods and may extend across the system bandwidth of a carrier or a subset of that bandwidth. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more of UEs 115 may monitor or search the control region for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or more control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. The aggregation level of a control channel candidate may refer to the amount of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with coded information for a control information format having a given payload size. The search space sets may include a common search space set configured for transmitting control information to multiple UEs 115 and a UE-specific search space set for transmitting control information to a specific UE 115 .

[0103] In some examples, network entities 105 (e.g., base stations 140, RUs 170) can be mobile and, therefore, provide communication coverage for mobile coverage areas 110. In some examples, different coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies can overlap, but the different coverage areas 110 can be supported by the same network entity 105. In some other examples, overlapping coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies can be supported by different network entities 105. The wireless communication system 100 can include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of network entities 105 provide coverage for various coverage areas 110 using the same or different radio access technologies.

[0104] The wireless communication system 100 can be configured to support ultra-reliable communication or low-latency communication or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communication system 100 can be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). The UE 115 can be designed to support ultra-reliable or low-latency or critical functions. Ultra-reliable communication can include private communication or group communication and can be supported by one or more services (such as push-to-talk, video or data). Support for ultra-reliable, low-latency functions can include prioritization of services, and such services can be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency and ultra-reliable low-latency can be used interchangeably in this article.

[0105] In some examples, UE 115 can be configured to support communication directly with other UEs 115 via device-to-device (D2D) communication links 135 (e.g., according to a peer-to-peer (P2P), D2D, or sidelink protocol). In some examples, one or more UEs 115 in a group performing D2D communication can be within a coverage area 110 of a network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170), which can support aspects of such D2D communication configured (e.g., scheduled) by the network entity 105. In some examples, one or more UEs 115 in such a group can be outside of the coverage area 110 of the network entity 105 or can otherwise be unable or not configured to receive transmissions from the network entity 105. In some examples, a group of UEs 115 communicating via D2D communication can support a one-to-many (1:M) system in which each UE 115 transmits to each of the other UEs 115 in the group. In some examples, network entity 105 may facilitate scheduling of resources for D2D communications. In some other examples, D2D communications may be performed between UEs 115 without involving network entity 105.

[0106] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) for managing access and mobility and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)) for routing packets or interconnecting to external networks. The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for UEs 115 served by network entities 105 (e.g., base stations 140) associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be delivered through the user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation and other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to the IP services 150 of one or more network operators. IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, an intranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet-switched streaming services.

[0107] The wireless communication system 100 can operate using one or more frequency bands that can range from 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Generally speaking, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is referred to as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelengths range from about one decimeter to one meter in length. UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features (which may be referred to as clusters), but these waves may be sufficient to penetrate structures for macro cells to provide service to UEs 115 located indoors. Communication using UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and a shorter range (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) than communication using the smaller frequencies and longer wavelengths of the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0108] The wireless communication system 100 can utilize licensed and unlicensed RF spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communication system 100 can employ license assisted access (LAA), LTE unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology using an unlicensed band (such as the 5 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band). When operating using an unlicensed RF spectrum band, devices such as the network entity 105 and the UE 115 can employ carrier sensing for conflict detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations using the unlicensed band can be based on a carrier aggregation configuration combined with component carriers operating using a licensed band (e.g., LAA). Operations performed using the unlicensed spectrum can include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among others.

[0109] A network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, a RU 170) or a UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas that can be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of the network entity 105 or UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels, which may support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, the antennas or antenna arrays associated with the network entity 105 may be located at different geographic locations. The network entity 105 may include an antenna array having a set of multiple rows and columns of antenna ports that the network entity 105 may use to support beamforming for communications with the UE 115. Similarly, the UE 115 may include one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panels may support RF beamforming for signals transmitted via the antenna ports.

[0110] Beamforming (which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception) is a signal processing technique that can be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a network entity 105, a UE 115) to shape or steer an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming can be achieved by combining signals communicated via antenna elements of an antenna array so that some signals propagating in a particular direction relative to the antenna array experience constructive interference, while other signals experience destructive interference. Adjustments to signals communicated via antenna elements can include the transmitting device or the receiving device applying an amplitude offset, a phase offset, or both to signals carried via antenna elements associated with the device. The adjustments associated with each of these antenna elements can be defined by a set of beamforming weights associated with a particular direction (e.g., relative to the antenna array of the transmitting device or the receiving device or relative to some other direction).

[0111] UE 115 and network entity 105 may support retransmission of data to increase the likelihood of successful data reception. HARQ feedback is a technique for increasing the likelihood of correctly receiving data via a communication link (e.g., communication link 125, D2D communication link 135). HARQ may include a combination of error detection (e.g., using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC), and retransmission (e.g., automatic repeat request (ARQ)). HARQ may improve throughput at the MAC layer under poor radio conditions (e.g., low signal-to-noise ratio conditions). In some examples, a device may support same-slot HARQ feedback, in which case the device may provide HARQ feedback in a particular time slot for data received via previous symbols in that time slot. In some other examples, the device may provide HARQ feedback in a subsequent time slot or based on some other time interval.

[0112] The network entity 105 and the UE 115 may communicate one or more packets of data associated with various applications, such as extended reality (XR) applications. XR may generally refer to one or more immersive technologies, including, for example, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR). XR communications may have various business characteristics. For example, the UE 115 sends various packet sizes and numbers of packets in a transmit burst for an XR application. In addition, the UE 115 may send or receive bursts of packets for the XR application according to a non-integer period, where such a non-integer period may be based on the XR application. As an illustrative example, the XR application may operate at 1 / 60 frames per second (FPS), and therefore, the UE may send or receive bursts of packets according to a period of 16.67 milliseconds (ms) (e.g., 1 / 60 FPS = 16.67 ms). As another illustrative example, the XR application may operate at 1 / 120 FPS, and thus the UE may send or receive bursts of packets according to a period of 8.33 ms (e.g., 1 / 120 FPS = 8.33 ms).

[0113] In some examples, the arrival times of various XR services may vary, where such variation may be referred to as jitter. In some examples, the UE may experience jitter associated with XR services in various ranges, one of which may be -4ms to +4ms. Additionally, the UE may send or receive XR services (e.g., packets of data) via multiple streams (e.g., channels). Each stream may be configured with different configurations, such as different periodicity, quality metrics, resources, and the like. In addition, services associated with XR communications may have a relatively low packet delay budget (PDB) such that packets associated with the XR services may not affect latency. That is, XR applications may be interrupted or affected by an increase in latency (e.g., the XR application may be degraded), and therefore, streams associated with the XR services may have a relatively low PDB.

[0114] In some examples, the UE 115 and the network entity 105 may include one or more enhancements related to the capacity of the wireless communication system. For example, such enhancements may include multiple configuration grants for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission opportunities within a period of a single configuration grant PUSCH configuration. In addition, such enhancements may include dynamic indication by the UE 115 of unused configuration grants for PUSCH opportunities based on UCI, which may be referred to herein. Figures 3 to 6. Additionally, the network entity 105 and the UE 115 may include a buffer status report (BSR) enhancement, which may include at least an update to a buffer status table (e.g., a new buffer status table). In some examples, the enhancement may include delaying reporting of buffered data in the uplink, provisioning XR service assistance information for downlink and uplink (e.g., such as periodicity), discarding a set of packet data units (PDUs), or a combination thereof. In some examples, enhancements to XR perception and detailed objectives may be further clarified.

[0115] In some cases, UE 115 can receive a configuration grant indicating one or more periodic uplink resources so that UE 115 can send uplink data via the periodic uplink resources without sending a scheduling request. That is, UE 115 can receive a configuration grant and use the uplink resources in the configuration grant to send uplink data according to the corresponding periodicity of the uplink resources, thereby reducing the time delay associated with sending a scheduling request. In addition, when UE 115 may not have data to be sent, UE 115 can autonomously determine the opportunity to skip uplink resources (e.g., to avoid sending data on the opportunity of uplink resources). In such cases, network entity 105 can continue to monitor the opportunity of uplink resources for uplink messages from UE 115 without receiving any uplink messages (e.g., because UE 115 skipped data transmission at this opportunity). Thus, if UE 115 autonomously determines to skip one or more uplink resources in a configuration grant, network entity 105 may have no indication of such skipped resources, resulting in inefficient use of resources, increased latency, etc.

[0116] The wireless communication system 100 may support dynamically indicating skipped (e.g., unused) uplink resources to the network entity 105, for example, via UCI, so that the network entity 105 can reschedule such resources for other UEs 115. For example, the UE 115 may receive a configuration for UCI that supports an indication of HARQ, an indication of a scheduling request, an indication of CSI, and an indication of additional information, wherein the indication of the additional information indicates that the UE 115 is to skip one or more uplink resources configured for the UE 115. Based on the configuration, the UE 115 may transmit UCI via a PUCCH, wherein the UCI includes at least one of an indication of HARQ feedback, an indication of a scheduling request, an indication of CSI, or an indication of additional information (e.g., an indication of skipped resources). In some aspects, the UE may transmit the additional information via the UCI according to various techniques (e.g., based on the format of the PUCCH carrying the UCI, based on the number of bits of the corresponding information included in the UCI, or both).

[0117] In this manner, the UE 115 can dynamically send an indication of additional information (e.g., an indication of skipped resources) to the network entity 105, thereby improving coordination between devices and enabling more efficient utilization of communication resources. For example, by sending the additional information in the UCI, the UE 115 can indicate to the network entity 105 which uplink resources can be skipped, thereby improving coordination between the UE 115 and the network entity 105. Furthermore, by sending the additional information, the network entity 105 can reschedule the skipped resources for use by other UEs 115, thereby resulting in more efficient utilization of communication resources in the wireless communication system 100.

[0118] Figure 2 An example of a wireless communication system 200 that supports indication of uplink resources via UCI according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. The wireless communication system 200 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communication system 100 as described herein. For example, the wireless communication system 200 may include a network entity 105-a and a UE 115-a, which may be as described herein with reference to Figure 1 Examples of network entities 105 and UEs 115 are described.

[0119] In some cases, the UE 115-a and the network entity 105-a may communicate control information (e.g., such as UCI 205 or control message 210) via various control channels, such as a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or PUCCH 215. In such cases, the UE 115-a and the network entity 105-a may transmit such control information via various formats associated with each channel, where each format includes corresponding parameters to be used for transmission. For example, the UE 115-a may transmit UCI 205 via PUCCH 215 according to one of a plurality of PUCCH formats (e.g., PUCCH format 0, PUCCH format 1, PUCCH format 2, PUCCH format 3, PUCCH format 4), where each PUCCH format is associated with a corresponding set of parameters. Such parameters for each PUCCH format may include the number of bits, waveform, number of symbols, number of resource blocks, information to be carried, transmission method, etc.

[0120] For example, using PUCCH format 0, the UE 115-a may transmit UCI 205 comprising a threshold number of bits (e.g., at most two bits) using a waveform associated with a sequence (e.g., a computer-generated sequence (CGS)), using a certain number of time resources (e.g., up to two symbols), and via a certain number of frequency resources (e.g., one resource block). In such an example, the UE 115-a may transmit an indication of HARQ feedback 220 (e.g., a HARQ acknowledgement (ACK) or negative ACK (NACK) (HARQ-ACK / NACK)) and an indication of a scheduling request 225 via corresponding bits in the UCI 205. That is, if the UE 115-a transmits UCI 205 via a PUCCH 215 configured with PUCCH format 0, the UE 115-a may transmit an indication of HARQ feedback 220 and / or an indication of a scheduling request 225 using at most two bits. Furthermore, using PUCCH format 0, the UE 115 - a may transmit the UCI 205 using a phase rotation of the sequence used to transmit the UCI 205 (eg, signal).

[0121] Using PUCCH format 1, UE 115-a may transmit UCI 205 comprising a threshold number of bits (e.g., at most two bits) using a CGS waveform, using a certain number of time resources (e.g., a number between 4 and 14 symbols), and via a certain number of frequency resources (e.g., one resource block). In such an example, UE 115-a may transmit an indication of HARQ feedback 220 and / or an indication of a scheduling request 225 via corresponding bits in UCI 205. That is, if UE 115-a transmits UCI 205 via PUCCH 215 configured with PUCCH format 1, UE 115-a may transmit an indication of HARQ feedback 220, an indication of a scheduling request 225, or both using at most two bits. In addition, using PUCCH format 1, UE115-a can transmit UCI 205 using a binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation scheme or a quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation scheme, using phase rotation of the sequence used to transmit UCI 205, and interleaving the sequence of UCI 205 with a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in the time domain.

[0122] Using PUCCH format 2, the UE 115-a may transmit UCI 205 comprising a certain number of bits (e.g., at least two bits) using an OFDM waveform, over a certain number of time resources (e.g., up to two symbols), and over a certain number of frequency resources (e.g., up to 16 resource blocks). In such an example, the UE 115-a may transmit UCI 205 that includes an indication of HARQ feedback 220, an indication of a scheduling request 225, or an indication of CSI 230, or any combination thereof. Furthermore, using PUCCH format 2, the UE 115-a may transmit UCI 205 using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), using a coding scheme, using a QPSK modulation scheme, and interleaving a sequence of the UCI 205 with a DMRS in the frequency domain. In some examples, if the bits to be encoded in UCI 205 are relatively large (e.g., resulting in relatively increased overhead and latency), UE115-a may prioritize bits associated with indications of HARQ feedback 220 and discard bits associated with indications of CSI 230.

[0123] Using PUCCH format 3, UE 115-a may transmit UCI 205 comprising a threshold number of bits (e.g., at least two bits (e.g., two bits or more)) using a DFT-S-OFDM waveform, via a number of time resources (e.g., between 4 and 14 symbols), and via a number of frequency resources (e.g., between 1 and 6, 8 and 10, 12, 15, or 16 resource blocks (e.g., 1-6, 8-10, 12, 15, 16 frequency resources). In such an example, UE 115-a may transmit UCI 205 that includes an indication of HARQ feedback 220, an indication of a scheduling request 225, an indication of CSI 230, or any combination thereof. Furthermore, using PUCCH format 3, UE 115-a may transmit UCI 205 using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), using a coding scheme, using a QPSK modulation scheme, and multiplexing UCI 205 with DMRS in the time domain. Additionally, UE 115-a may prioritize indications of HARQ feedback 220, scheduling requests 225, and CSI 230, with the mapping in UCI 205 prioritizing indications of HARQ feedback 220, scheduling requests 225, and CSI 230. In some examples, each indication may be jointly coded and mapped to a DMRS location (e.g., in time, in frequency, or both).

[0124] Using PUCCH format 4, UE 115-a may transmit UCI 205 including a threshold number of bits (e.g., at least two bits (e.g., two bits or more)) using a DFT-S-OFDM waveform, over a number of time resources (e.g., between 4 and 14 symbols), and over a number of frequency resources (e.g., one resource block). In such an example, UE 115-a may transmit UCI 205 (e.g., all UCI 205) including an indication of HARQ feedback 220, an indication of a scheduling request 225, and an indication of CSI 230. Furthermore, using PUCCH format 4, UE 115-a may transmit UCI 205 using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), using a coding scheme, using a QPSK modulation scheme, and by interleaving and scattering a sequence of UCI 205 with a DMRS in the frequency domain. Additionally, UE 115-a may prioritize the indication of HARQ feedback 220, the indication of scheduling request 225, and the indication of CSI 230, with mapping in UCI 205 prioritizing the indication of HARQ feedback 220, the indication of scheduling request 225, and the indication of CSI 230. In some examples, each indication may be jointly decoded and mapped relatively close to a DMRS location (e.g., in time, in frequency, or both).

[0125] In some cases, the UE 115-a and the network entity 105-a may support multiple configuration grant PUSCH transmission opportunities within a period of a single configuration grant configuration, where one or more configuration grant configurations may be indicated to the UE 115-a. For example, the UE 115-a may receive a configuration grant configuration indicating one or more periodic uplink resources such that the UE 115-a may transmit uplink data via the periodic uplink resources without transmitting a scheduling request. That is, the UE 115-a may receive the configuration grant configuration and use the uplink resources configured in the configuration grant configuration to transmit uplink data according to the corresponding periodicity of the uplink resources, thereby reducing the latency associated with transmitting a scheduling request and the signaling overhead of a corresponding uplink grant corresponding to the scheduling request.

[0126] In some examples, such as when UE 115-a may not have data to send, UE 115-a may autonomously determine an opportunity to skip uplink resources (e.g., avoid using an opportunity for uplink resources to send data). In such a case, network entity 105-a may continue to monitor the timing of uplink resources for uplink messages from UE 115-a without receiving any uplink messages (e.g., because UE 115-a skipped data transmission at that opportunity). Therefore, if UE 115-a autonomously determines to skip one or more uplink resources in a configuration grant, network entity 105-a may not have an indication of such skipped resources, resulting in inefficient use of resources, increased latency, etc. That is, conventional techniques may not provide a design or signaling for using UCI transmitted via PUCCH 215 to carry a configuration grant skip indication.

[0127] In some implementations, a UE 115-a may support dynamic indication of unused (e.g., skipped) configuration grant PUSCH opportunities via UCI 205 (e.g., configuration grant UCI or new UCI). The UE 115-a may send the dynamic indication as part of the UCI in a PUSCH or PUCCH 215. Thus, the techniques of this disclosure may describe a design for a PUCCH 215 that carries a configuration grant skip indication. That is, the techniques described herein may provide an example for sending an indication of additional information 235 (e.g., indicating one or more skipped or unused uplink resources) via the PUCCH 215 as part of the UCI 205. The additional information 235 (e.g., one or more additional bits of the UCI 205) is described herein as including a configuration grant skip indication (which may be referred to as a CGskip, indicating that one or more configuration grant resource opportunities will not be used). However, it should be understood that other types of signaling and information not explicitly described herein may be included in the additional information. Thus, an example of a skip indication in the UCI 205 is provided for clarity, and other or additional indications may be sent using additional bits included in the UCI 205 .

[0128] In some examples, the network entity 105 - a may configure the PUCCH 215 via a control message 210 (e.g., RRC signaling) to include additional information 235 as part of the UCI 205, where the additional information 235 may include one or more information bits sent using one of a plurality of PUCCH formats (e.g., PUCCH format 0, PUCCH format 1, PUCCH format 2, PUCCH format 3, PUCCH format 4, etc.), the plurality of PUCCH formats being configured via control signaling (e.g., such as PUCCH-Config). Additionally or alternatively, the network entity 105 - a may send a control message 210 (or another control message 210) including a configuration for the UCI 205 that supports a number of bits (e.g., N ) for an indication of the additional information 235. 跳 ), the number of bits used for the indication of the HARQ feedback 220 (eg, N HARQ ), the number of bits used for the indication of the scheduling request 225 (eg, N SR ) and the number of bits used for the indication of CSI 230 (e.g., N CSI ).

[0129] In addition, the network entity 105-a may indicate, via the configuration in the control message 210, whether the PUCCH 215 is configured to transmit both an indication of a scheduling request 225 and an indication of additional information 235 via the UCI 205. For example, if the UE 115-a transmits an indication of additional information 235, then the indication of the scheduling request 225 may not be needed because the UE 115-a is indicating that there is no data to transmit. In some examples, the network entity 105-a may indicate that the UE 115-a is to process the indication of the scheduling request 225 and the indication of additional information (e.g., CGskip, an indication of skipped and / or unused resources) separately. That is, the network entity 105-a may indicate that the UE 115-a may transmit both an indication of the scheduling request 225 and an indication of additional information 235 via the UCI 205. In some other examples, where an indication of additional information 235 is to be sent, the network entity 105-a may indicate to the UE 115-a that the indication of the scheduling request 225 is to be excluded from the UCI 205. In some other examples, where an indication of the scheduling request 225 is to be sent, the network entity 105-a may indicate to the UE 115-a that the indication of the additional information 235 is to be excluded from the UCI 205.

[0130] The network entity 105-a may indicate, via a configuration (e.g., PUCCH-Config) in the control message 210, which of the PUCCH formats to use, e.g., for transmitting UCI 205, including an indication of the additional information 235. In some examples, the network entity 105-a may indicate to the UE 115-a that it is to use PUCCH format 0 of the PUCCH 215. In such an example, the UE 115-a may transmit the UCI 205 via the PUCCH 215 configured for PUCCH format 0, where PUCCH format 0 may be configured to include (e.g., carry) an indication of the additional information 235 in addition to an indication of the HARQ feedback 220 and an indication of the scheduling request 225. For example, PUCCH format 0 may be configured to include UCI 205 with up to three information bits, such that any combination of an indication of additional information 235 , an indication of HARQ feedback 220 , or an indication of a scheduling request 225 may be sent via PUCCH 215 .

[0131] In one example, UE 115-a may send only an indication of additional information 235 via UCI 205, where the indication of additional information 235 may be represented by up to three bits (e.g., N 跳过 In another example, UE 115 - a may send both an indication of HARQ feedback 220 and an indication of additional information 235 via UCI 205 , where both indications may be represented by up to three bits (e.g., N 跳过 +N HARQ In another example, UE 115-a may send both an indication of the scheduling request 225 and an indication of the additional information 235 via UCI 205, where both indications may be represented by up to three bits (e.g., N skip +N SR In another example, UE 115-a may send an indication of HARQ feedback 220, an indication of scheduling request 225, and an indication of additional information 235 via UCI 205, where these indications may be represented by up to three bits (e.g., N 跳过 +N HARQ +N SR No more than three digits).

[0132] In such an example, if UE 115-a is to transmit data via a single bit (e.g., N 跳过=1) sends an indication of additional information 235, the UE 115-a may send an indication via the indication of the additional information 235 that the UE 115-a is not skipping the configured granted resources, either implicitly (e.g., similar to an implicit scheduling request indication, such as with a negative scheduling request) or explicitly (e.g., using a dedicated cyclic shift value). That is, the UE 115-a may send an explicit indication to the network entity 105-a via the indication of the additional information 235 in the UCI 205 that the UE 115-a is to skip one or more resources. However, in the event that the UE 115-a does not skip one or more resources, the UE 115-a may implicitly or explicitly indicate that the UE 115-a is not skipping the one or more resources. In such an example, the network entity 105-a may indicate via the configuration in the control message 210 whether the UE 115-a is to send an indication of the additional information 235 explicitly or implicitly. Furthermore, using PUCCH format 0, UE 115-a may determine a cyclic shift from among a plurality of cyclic shifts associated with UCI 205 based on whether UCI 205 includes an indication of HARQ feedback 220, an indication of a scheduling request 225, and an indication of additional information 235. Such techniques may be referenced herein. Figures 3 to 5 To further describe.

[0133] In some other examples, the network entity 105-a may instruct the UE 115-a to use PUCCH format 1 to transmit UCI 205 via the PUCCH 215. In such examples, the network entity 105-a may additionally indicate, via configuration in the control message 210, the number of bits to be used for the UCI 205 and whether the indication to not skip resources will be an implicit indication or an explicit indication.

[0134] For example, the network entity 105-a may instruct the UE 115-a via a configuration in the control message 210 to transmit a single information bit (e.g., N 跳过=1) for an indication of additional information 235 and implicitly indicates that UE 115-a is not skipping one or more resources. For this implicit indication, unless it is indicated that one or more resources are to be skipped (e.g., are not to be used by UE 115-a), network entity 105-a may determine (e.g., assume) that UE 115-a is not skipping resources (e.g., that UE 115-a is using each of the one or more uplink resources associated with the configuration grant). In such an example, if UE 115-a is to send only additional information 235 via UCI 205, UE 115-a may send UCI 205 using a BPSK modulation scheme, where the indication of additional information 235 includes a single information bit (e.g., a bit indicating that UE 115-a is to skip one or more uplink resources). Thus, to indicate to the UE 115 - a not to skip one or more uplink resources, the UE 115 - a may not send the additional information 235 via the UCI 205 , thereby providing an implicit indication to the network entity 105 - a .

[0135] In some other examples, if the UE 115-a is to send an indication of the additional information 235 and an indication of the HARQ feedback 220 via the UCI 205, the UE 115-a may use uplink resources to send the UCI 205, where the indication of the additional information 235 includes a single information bit. In such examples, the uplink resources may be allocated for the indication of the additional information 235 (e.g., CGskip resources). Thus, to indicate that the UE 115-a is not to skip one or more uplink resources, the UE 115-a may not send the additional information 235 via the UCI 205, thereby providing an implicit indication to the network entity 105-a.

[0136] Additionally or alternatively, in some examples, if the UE 115-a is to send an indication of the additional information 235 and an indication of the scheduling request 225 via the UCI 205, the UE 115-a may use uplink resources to send the indication of the additional information 235 and the indication of the scheduling request 225, where the indication of the additional information 235 comprises a single information bit. In such examples, the uplink resources may be allocated for the indication of the additional information 235 (e.g., CGskip resources) or for the indication of the scheduling request 225 (e.g., scheduling request resources). Thus, to indicate to the UE 115-a not to skip one or more uplink resources, the UE 115-a may refrain from sending (e.g., not sending) the additional information 235 via the UCI 205, thereby providing an implicit indication to the network entity 105-a.

[0137] Additionally or alternatively, if the UE 115-a is to send an indication of the additional information 235, an indication of the scheduling request 225, and an indication of the HARQ feedback 220 via the UCI 205, the UE 115-a may use uplink resources to send the UCI 205, wherein the indication of the additional information 235 includes a single information bit (e.g., a bit indicating that the UE 115-a is to skip one or more resources). In such an example, the uplink resources may be allocated for the indication of the additional information 235 (e.g., CGskip resources) or for the indication of the scheduling request 225 (e.g., scheduling request resources). Thus, to indicate to the UE 115-a not to skip one or more uplink resources, the UE 115-a may not send the additional information 235 via the UCI 205, thereby providing an implicit indication to the network entity 105-a.

[0138] In some other examples, the network entity 105-a may indicate, via a configuration in the control message 210, that the UE 115-a is to use a single information bit for an indication of the additional information 235 and explicitly indicate that the UE 115-a is not to skip one or more resources. In such an example, if the UE 115-a is to send only an indication of the additional information 235 via the UCI 205, the UE 115-a may send the UCI 205 using a BPSK modulation scheme, where the indication of the additional information includes a single information bit that explicitly indicates whether the UE 115-a is to skip one or more uplink resources configured for the UE 115-a. As an illustrative example, if the UE 115-a is to skip one or more uplink resources, the UE 115-a may send a "1" as an indication of the additional information 235. Similarly, if the UE 115-a is not to skip one or more uplink resources, the UE 115-a may send a "0" as an indication of the additional information 235.

[0139] Alternatively, if UE 115-a is to send an indication of additional information 235 and an indication of HARQ feedback 220 via UCI 205, UE 115-a may send UCI 205 using a QPSK modulation scheme, where the indication of additional information includes a single information bit that explicitly indicates whether UE 115-a is to skip one or more uplink resources configured for UE 115-a.

[0140] In some other examples, if UE 115-a is to transmit an indication of additional information 235 and an indication of a scheduling request 225 via UCI 205, UE 115-a may transmit UCI 205 using uplink resources, wherein the indication of the additional information includes a single information bit that explicitly indicates whether UE 115-a is to skip one or more uplink resources configured for UE 115-a. In such examples, uplink resources may be allocated for the indication of the scheduling request 225. That is, UE 115-a may transmit the indication of additional information 235 and the indication of the scheduling request 225 similarly to the transmission of the indication of HARQ feedback 220 and the indication of the scheduling request 225, wherein the one or more bits of the indication of the HARQ feedback 220 may be replaced by a single information bit associated with the indication of the additional information 235.

[0141] Alternatively, if UE 115-a is to send an indication of additional information 235, an indication of a scheduling request 225 (e.g., a positive scheduling request), and an indication of HARQ feedback 220 via UCI 205, UE 115-a may use the uplink resources indicated in control message 210 and transmit UCI 205 using a QPSK modulation scheme, where the indication of the additional information includes a single information bit that explicitly indicates whether UE 115-a is to skip one or more uplink resources configured for UE 115-a. In such an example, the uplink resources may be allocated for the indication of the scheduling request 225.

[0142] In some examples, network entity 105-a may instruct UE 115-a via configuration in control message 210 to use at least two information bits for indication of additional information 235 (e.g., N skip >1). In such examples, UE 115-a sends only an indication of additional information 235 in UCI 205, or sends both an indication of additional information 235 and an indication of scheduling request 225 via UCI 205. That is, in such examples, UE 115-a may not be able to send an indication of additional information 235 along with an indication of HARQ feedback 220 because the number of bits allocated for the indication of additional information 235 and the number of bits required for the indication of HARQ feedback 220 meet the bit restriction associated with PUCCH format 0.

[0143] Thus, if UE 115-a is to send only an indication of additional information 235 via UCI 205, UE 115-a may use a QPSK modulation scheme to send UCI 205. In such an example, UE 115-a may include a plurality of information bits in the indication of additional information 235 to explicitly indicate whether UE 115-a is to skip one or more uplink resources configured for UE 115-a.

[0144] Alternatively, if UE 115-a is to transmit the indication of additional information 235 and the indication of scheduling request 225 via UCI 205, UE 115-a may transmit UCI 205 using uplink resources. Thus, UE 115-a may include, in the indication of additional information 235, a number of information bits that explicitly indicate whether UE 115-a is to skip one or more uplink resources configured for UE 115-a. In such an example, uplink resources may be allocated for the indication of scheduling request 225. That is, UE 115-a may transmit the indication of additional information 235 and the indication of scheduling request 225 similarly to the transmission of the indication of HARQ feedback 220 and the indication of scheduling request 225, wherein one or more bits of the indication of HARQ feedback 220 may be replaced by a number of information bits associated with the indication of additional information 235.

[0145] In some other examples, the network entity 105-a may indicate, via a configuration in the control message 210, that the UE 115-a is to use PUCCH format 2 to send UCI 205 via the PUCCH 215. In such examples, the UE 115-a may send, via one or more bits in the UCI, an indication of the HARQ feedback 220, an indication of the scheduling request 225, an indication of the CSI 230, and an indication of the additional information 235. Thus, the UE 115-a may multiplex the one or more bits of the indication of the additional information 235 with the one or more bits of the indication of the HARQ feedback 220, the one or more bits of the indication of the scheduling request 225, and the one or more bits of the indication of the CSI 230.

[0146] Furthermore, UE 115-a may prioritize the one or more bits of the indication of additional information 235, the one or more bits of the indication of HARQ feedback 220, the one or more bits of the indication of scheduling request 225, and the one or more bits of the indication of CSI 230. In such an example, the one or more bits of the indication of HARQ feedback 220 may be prioritized over the one or more bits of the indication of additional information 235, which may be prioritized over the one or more bits of the indication of CSI 230. That is, the order of priority (e.g., which bits are prioritized if the number of bits to encode is too large) may be the one or more bits of the indication of HARQ feedback 220, followed by the one or more bits of the indication of additional information 235, followed by the one or more bits of the indication of CSI 230.

[0147] In some other examples, the network entity 105-a may indicate, via a configuration in the control message 210, that the UE 115-a is to use PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4 to send UCI 205 via the PUCCH 215. In such examples, the UE 115-a may send, via one or more bits in the UCI, an indication of the HARQ feedback 220, an indication of the scheduling request 225, an indication of the CSI 230, and an indication of the additional information 235. Accordingly, the UE 115-a may multiplex and jointly decode the one or more bits of the indication of the additional information 235 with the one or more bits of the indication of the HARQ feedback 220, the one or more bits of the indication of the scheduling request 225, and the one or more bits of the indication of the CSI 230.

[0148] Furthermore, UE 115-a may prioritize the one or more bits of the indication of additional information 235, the one or more bits of the indication of HARQ feedback 220, the one or more bits of the indication of scheduling request 225, and the one or more bits of the indication of CSI 230. In such an example, the one or more bits of the indication of HARQ feedback 220 may be prioritized over the one or more bits of the indication of additional information 235, which may be prioritized over the one or more bits of the indication of CSI 230. That is, the order of priority (e.g., which bits are closer to the DMRS) may be the one or more bits of the indication of HARQ feedback 220, followed by the one or more bits of the indication of additional information 235, followed by the one or more bits of the indication of CSI 230 (e.g., the CSI part 1 bit).

[0149] Based on the configuration indicated in the control message 210, the UE 115-a may transmit UCI 205 via the PUCCH 215, wherein the UCI 205 may include an indication of the additional information 235. In this manner, the UE 115-a may improve coordination between devices and achieve more efficient utilization of communication resources. For example, by transmitting an indication of the additional information 235 in the UCI 205, the UE 115-a may indicate to the network entity 105-a which uplink resources may be skipped, thereby improving coordination between the UE 115-a and the network entity 105-a. Furthermore, by transmitting an indication of the additional information 235, the network entity 105-a may be able to reschedule the skipped resources for use by other UEs 115, thereby resulting in more efficient utilization of communication resources in the wireless communication system 200.

[0150] Figure 3 An example of a diagram 300 that supports indication of uplink resources via UCI according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. The diagram 300 may be implemented by aspects of the wireless communication system 100 and the wireless communication system 200. For example, the diagram 300 may be implemented by a wireless communication system as described herein with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The described UE 115 and network entity 105 implement, for example, aspects of diagram 400 to send an indication of additional information via UCI in a PUCCH using PUCCH format 0, wherein the indication of additional information comprises a single information bit.

[0151] Diagram 300 may include various cyclic shift diagrams 305, wherein each cyclic shift diagram 305 may include one or more cyclic shifts 310. In some aspects, each position of a corresponding cyclic shift illustrated by cyclic shift diagram 305 may correspond to a value of a cyclic shift. Using PUCCH format 0, UE 115-a may use a particular cyclic shift 310 in cyclic shift diagram 305 to generate a sequence (e.g., a signal) (e.g., cyclic shift 310 may be applied to a base sequence for transmitting PUCCH including UCI), wherein each cyclic shift may be mapped to a different indication or information. Thus, upon receiving the sequence, network entity 105 may decode the sequence and detect (e.g., determine) the cyclic shift 310 used for the sequence. Based on detecting the cyclic shift 310 used, network entity 105 determines information based on a predefined mapping (e.g., as predefined in a standards body such as the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)). Furthermore, each UE 115 in the wireless communication system can use the corresponding initial cyclic shift value to determine which cyclic shift 310 to use to generate a sequence. In this way, multiple UEs 115 can send indications via cyclic shift 310 without causing interference or confusion at the network entity 105.

[0152] In the example of cyclic shift diagram 305-a, UE 115 may transmit UCI via PUCCH format 0, wherein the UCI includes an indication of a scheduling request (e.g., a positive scheduling request). Thus, as predefined or preconfigured by network entity 105, UE 115 may generate a sequence using cyclic shift 310-a (e.g., an initial cyclic shift), wherein cyclic shift 310-a may be mapped to or associated with the indication of a scheduling request. In some aspects, the initial cyclic shift may correspond to a value of 0. Additionally or alternatively, the initial cyclic shift value may be some other value, and the initial cyclic shift value may be UE-specific. UE 115 may transmit a sequence based on cyclic shift 310-a, wherein network entity 105 may receive the sequence, detect cyclic shift 310-a, and identify the indication of a positive scheduling request based on the preconfigured mapping. However, it should be understood that the cyclic shift 310-a may be mapped to any other cyclic shift 310 in the cyclic shift diagram 305-a according to an initial cyclic shift value for each UE 115 in the wireless communication system.

[0153] In some other examples of the cyclic shift diagram 305-a, if the UE 115 is to use PUCCH format 0 to send UCI including an indication of an affirmative scheduling request and an indication of HARQ feedback, the UE 115 can determine the cyclic shift 310 from one of four cyclic shifts 310 (e.g., cyclic shift 310-a, cyclic shift 310-b, cyclic shift 310-c, and cyclic shift 310-d), where each cyclic shift 310 indicates corresponding information. For example, cyclic shift 310-a may be mapped to indicate a NACK, cyclic shift 310-b (e.g., a value of 6, a cyclic shift value having a certain offset from the initial cyclic shift value) may be mapped to indicate an ACK, cyclic shift 310-c (e.g., a value of 9, a cyclic shift value having a certain offset from the initial cyclic shift value) may be mapped to indicate an ACK and a positive scheduling request, and cyclic shift 310-d (e.g., a value of 3, a cyclic shift value having a certain offset from the initial cyclic shift value) may be mapped to indicate a NACK and a positive scheduling request. In this way, UE 115 can use cyclic shift 310 to indicate one of four possibilities for HARQ feedback and scheduling requests.

[0154] In some other examples of cyclic shift diagram 305-a, if the UE is to use PUCCH format 0 to transmit UCI including an indication of a positive scheduling request and an indication of HARQ feedback using two information bits, the UE 115 can determine the cyclic shift 310 from one of eight cyclic shifts 310 (e.g., four additional cyclic shifts are not shown). As an illustrative example, cyclic shift 310-a can be associated with two bits of HARQ feedback, where each bit indicates a corresponding ACK or NACK. In addition, cyclic shift 310-b can be associated with an indication of a positive scheduling request.

[0155] According to the techniques described herein, a UE 115 may receive a control message including a configuration for UCI that supports an indication of additional information. Thus, the configuration may indicate whether the UE is to use PUCCH format 0 to transmit UCI, whether a single information bit is to be used for the indication of additional information, and whether the UE 115 is to send an implicit indication or an explicit indication when not skipping one or more uplink resources. In such an example, each cyclic shift 310 may be orthogonalized such that each cyclic shift 310 may be mapped to a corresponding indication in the UCI. That is, each cyclic shift 310 in the cyclic shift diagram 305 may be mapped to or associated with a combination of an indication of HARQ feedback, an indication of a positive scheduling request, and an indication of additional information. Thus, the network entity 105 may receive each indication in the UCI based on the cyclic shift 310 of the sequence used to generate the UCI.

[0156] For example, if UE 115 is to transmit only an indication of additional information via UCI, UE 115 may determine a cyclic shift 310-e (e.g., an initial cyclic shift value) of cyclic shift diagram 305-b to generate a sequence of UCI, where cyclic shift 310-e may be mapped to or associated with an indication of additional information (e.g., that UE 115 is to skip one or more uplink resources). If UE 115 is configured to explicitly indicate that UE 115 is not to skip one or more uplink resources, UE 115 may determine to use a cyclic shift 310-f, which may be mapped to or associated with an indication of not skipping. In such a case, cyclic shift 310-e may have a value of 0, and cyclic shift 310-f may have a value of 6. In such an example, the indication to skip and the indication to not skip may be opposite cyclic shifts 310 (e.g., relative to the cyclic shift 310 illustrated by the corresponding cyclic shift diagram 305). Alternatively, if the UE 115 is configured to implicitly indicate that the UE 115 is not to skip one or more uplink resources, and only additional information is to be transmitted via the UCI (e.g., the UE 115 has no HARQ feedback or positive scheduling request to send via the UCI), the UE 115 may not send UCI.

[0157] In some examples, UE 115 can be configured to implicitly indicate that UE 115 does not skip one or more uplink resources. Thus, if UE 115 is to send an indication of additional information, an indication of a positive scheduling request, or both via UCI, UE 115 can determine cyclic shift 310 from cyclic shift diagram 305-c. For example, cyclic shift 310-g (e.g., a value of 0, an initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped only to or associated only with an indication of a positive scheduling request, while cyclic shift 310-h (e.g., a value of 8, a cyclic shift value with a certain offset from the initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped only to or associated only with an indication of additional information (e.g., an indication to skip one or more uplink resources). Similarly, cyclic shift 310-i (e.g., a value of 4, a cyclic shift value with a certain offset from the initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with both an indication of additional information and an indication of a positive scheduling request. Thus, based on the indication to be transmitted from the UE 115, the UE 115 may determine a corresponding cyclic shift 310 for use in generating a sequence of UCI.

[0158] In some other examples, UE 115 can be configured to explicitly indicate that UE 115 does not skip one or more uplink resources. Thus, if UE 115 is to send an indication of additional information, an indication of a positive scheduling request, or both via UCI, UE 115 determines cyclic shift 310 from cyclic shift diagram 305-d. For example, cyclic shift 310-j (e.g., value 0, an initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with the indication of the positive scheduling request. Additionally, cyclic shift 310-k (e.g., a value of 10, a cyclic shift value having an offset from the initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with an indication that UE 115 does not skip one or more uplink resources, while cyclic shift 310-1 (e.g., the opposite cyclic shift 310) (e.g., a value of 4, a cyclic shift value having an offset from the initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with an indication of additional information (e.g., that UE 115 is to skip one or more uplink resources). Similarly, cyclic shift 310-m (e.g., a value of 8, a cyclic shift value having an offset from the initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with both an indication of a positive scheduling request and an indication that UE 115 does not skip one or more uplink resources, while cyclic shift 310-n (e.g., a value of 2, a cyclic shift value having an offset from the initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with both an indication of additional information and an indication of a positive scheduling request. Thus, based on the indication to be transmitted from the UE 115, the UE 115 may determine a corresponding cyclic shift 310 for use in generating a sequence of UCI.

[0159] In some examples, if UE 115 transmits an indication of additional information, an indication of a scheduling request (e.g., a positive scheduling request), an indication of HARQ feedback, or a combination thereof via UCI, UE 115 can determine cyclic shift 310 from cyclic shift diagram 305-e. Thus, the indication of HARQ feedback can be a single bit (e.g., including two opposite cyclic shifts: one for ACK and one for NACK), where each cyclic shift 310 in cyclic shift diagram 305-e can be mapped to or associated with one of eight possible combinations of these indications. The two opposite shifts can be selected based on a multiplexing scheme (e.g., whether the UCI will include an indication of additional information or an indication of a positive scheduling request).

[0160] As an illustrative example, cyclic shift 310-o (e.g., a value of 0, an initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped only to or associated with a NACK for an indication of HARQ feedback, while cyclic shift 310-p (e.g., the opposite of cyclic shift 310) (e.g., a value of 6, a cyclic shift value having a certain offset from the initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped only to or associated with an ACK for an indication of HARQ feedback. Similarly, cyclic shift 310-q (e.g., a value of 11, a cyclic shift value having a certain offset from the initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with both an indication of an ACK and an indication that UE 115 does not skip one or more uplink resources, while cyclic shift 310-r (e.g., a value of 5, a cyclic shift value having a certain offset from the initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with both an indication of a NACK and an indication that UE 115 does not skip one or more uplink resources. The cyclic shift 310-s (e.g., a value of 10, a cyclic shift value having a certain offset from the initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with an indication of an ACK, an indication of a positive scheduling request, and an indication that the UE 115 does not skip one or more uplink resources, while the cyclic shift 310-t (e.g., a value of 4, a cyclic shift value having a certain offset from the initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with an indication of a NACK, an indication of a positive scheduling request, and an indication that the UE 115 does not skip one or more uplink resources.

[0161] Cyclic shift 310-u (e.g., a value of 9, a cyclic shift value having an offset from an initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with an indication of an ACK and an indication of a scheduling request, while cyclic shift 310-v (e.g., a value of 3, a cyclic shift value having an offset from an initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with an indication of a NACK and an indication of a positive scheduling request. Cyclic shift 310-w (e.g., a value of 8, a cyclic shift value having an offset from an initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with an indication of an ACK and an indication of additional information (e.g., that UE 115 is to skip one or more uplink resources), while cyclic shift 310-x (e.g., a value of 2, a cyclic shift value having an offset from an initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with an indication of a NACK and an indication of additional information. In addition, the cyclic shift 310-y (e.g., a value of 7, a cyclic shift value having a certain offset from the initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with an indication of an ACK, an indication of a positive scheduling request, and an indication of additional information, while the cyclic shift 310-z (e.g., a value of 1, a cyclic shift value having a certain offset from the initial cyclic shift value) can be mapped to or associated with an indication of a NACK, an indication of a positive scheduling request, and an indication of additional information.

[0162] As shown and described in diagram 300, the various diagrams and descriptions may be examples of cyclic shift assignments or cyclic shift values. Thus, different assignments (e.g., the positioning and combination of mappings between cyclic shifts 310 and indications) may be used. In one example, the cyclic shift assignments may be such that the distance between cyclic shifts indicating different information is maximized for relatively higher priority bits (e.g., one or more bits associated with indications for HARQ feedback may be prioritized).

[0163] In this manner, UE 115 can transmit an indication of additional information via a single bit in the UCI using PUCCH format 0, thereby reducing signaling overhead in the wireless communication system, improving coordination between devices, and enabling network entity 105 to more efficiently use uplink resources. For example, by mapping one or more cyclic shifts 310 to an associated indication, UE 115 can avoid transmitting multiple signals to indicate the additional information, thereby reducing overhead in the wireless communication system. Furthermore, by indicating the additional information to network entity 105, UE 115 can improve coordination between devices, such that network entity 105 can have an indication of which uplink resources configured for UE 115 can be skipped. Furthermore, in response to receiving the indication of the additional information, network entity 105 can reschedule, reuse, or repurpose one or more skipped uplink resources, thereby providing more efficient utilization of communication resources.

[0164] Figure 4 An example of a diagram 400 that supports indication of uplink resources via UCI according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. Diagram 400 may implement or be implemented by aspects of wireless communication system 100, wireless communication system 200, and diagram 300. For example, diagram 400 may be implemented by UE 115 and network entity 105, which may be a network entity as described herein. Figures 1 to 2 Additionally, diagram 400 may include one or more cyclic shift diagrams 405, which may be as described herein with reference to Figure 3 An example of a cyclic shift diagram 305 is described.

[0165] A UE 115 may implement aspects of diagram 400 to transmit an indication of additional information, an indication of a scheduling request (e.g., a positive scheduling request), or both via UCI in a PUCCH using PUCCH format 0, wherein the indication of the additional information includes multiple information bits (e.g., up to three information bits). For example, each cyclic shift 410 in cyclic shift diagram 405 may be mapped to or associated with a combination of an indication of a positive scheduling request and an indication of the additional information. Furthermore, each UE 115 in the wireless communication system may include an initial cyclic shift value such that, when determining a cyclic shift 410 to use for UCI, the UE 115 may offset the mapped cyclic shift 410 from the initial cyclic shift. That is, the cyclic shift value may differ from the initial cyclic shift value by a certain value. Thus, the network entity 105 may receive each indication in the UCI based on the cyclic shift 410 of the sequence used to generate the UCI.

[0166] As an illustrative example, if UE 115 is to send only an indication of additional information via multiple bits in the UCI (e.g., via two or three bits), UE 115 may use cyclic shift 410 from cyclic shift diagram 405-a (e.g., when two bits are used) or cyclic shift diagram 405-b (e.g., when three bits are used).

[0167] For example, if UE 115 is to send an indication of additional information via two bits in UCI, UE 115 may use cyclic shift 410 from cyclic shift diagram 405-a (e.g., which may be similar to prior art techniques for two-bit HARQ feedback). In such an example, each cyclic shift 410 (e.g., cyclic shift 410-a, cyclic shift 410-b, cyclic shift 410-c, and cyclic shift 410-d) may be mapped to or associated with two information bits, where each cyclic shift 410 may represent an indication of additional information. As an illustrative example, cyclic shift 410-a (e.g., an initial cyclic shift value) can be associated with a bit value [0,0], cyclic shift 410-b can be associated with a bit value [1,0], cyclic shift 410-c can be associated with a bit value [1,1], and cyclic shift 410-d can be associated with a bit value [0,1], where each bit of the corresponding bit value can be associated with an indication that UE 115 is to skip one or more uplink resources or is to avoid skipping one or more uplink resources.

[0168] Alternatively, if UE 115 is to send an indication of additional information via three bits in the UCI, UE 115 may use cyclic shifts 410 from cyclic shift diagram 405-b. In such an example, each cyclic shift 410 (e.g., cyclic shift 410-e, cyclic shift 410-f, cyclic shift 410-g, cyclic shift 410-h, cyclic shift 410-i, cyclic shift 410-j, cyclic shift 410-k, and cyclic shift 410-l) may be mapped to or associated with an indication of up to three information bits, where each cyclic shift 410 may represent an indication of additional information (e.g., an indication that one or more uplink resources will not be used by UE 115). As illustrative examples, cyclic shift 410-e may be associated with a bit value of [0, 0, 0], cyclic shift 410-f may be associated with a bit value of [1, 0, 0], cyclic shift 410-g may be associated with a bit value of [1, 1, 1], cyclic shift 410-h may be associated with a bit value of [0, 1, 1], cyclic shift 410-i may be associated with a bit value of [1, 1, 0], cyclic shift 410-j may be associated with a bit value of [0, 1, 0], cyclic shift 410-k may be associated with a bit value of [1, 0, 1], and cyclic shift 410-l may be associated with a bit value of [0, 0, 1], where each bit of the bit value may be associated with an indication that UE 115 is to skip one or more uplink resources, or is to avoid skipping one or more uplink resources, or some other indication.

[0169] In some examples, if UE 115 is to send an indication of additional information and an indication of a positive scheduling request, UE 115 may use two bits for the indication of the additional information and one bit for the indication of the positive scheduling request. In such an example, UE 115 may determine the cyclic shift 410 from cyclic shift diagram 405-c. For example, cyclic shift diagram 405 may have four orthogonal cyclic shifts 410 for two bits associated with the indication of additional information (e.g., CGskip), and then group-shift these four cyclic shifts 410 to indicate a scheduling request (e.g., similar to existing two-bit HARQ feedback and positive scheduling requests).

[0170] For example, cyclic shift 410-m, cyclic shift 410-q, cyclic shift 410-n, and cyclic shift 410-r can be mapped to or associated with two bits indicating additional information. In such an example, cyclic shift 410-m can be associated with a bit value [0,0], cyclic shift 410-q can be associated with a bit value [1,1], cyclic shift 410-n can be associated with a bit value [1,0], and cyclic shift 410-r can be associated with a bit value [0,1], where each bit of the corresponding bit value can be associated with an indication that UE 115 is to skip one or more uplink resources or is to avoid skipping one or more uplink resources. Additionally, cyclic shift 410-o, cyclic shift 410-s, cyclic shift 410-p, and cyclic shift 410-t can be mapped to or associated with two bits indicating additional information and an indication of a positive scheduling request. As an illustrative example, cyclic shift 410-t may be associated with a bit value [0,0], cyclic shift 410-p may be associated with a bit value [0,1], cyclic shift 410-s may be associated with a bit value [1,0], and cyclic shift 410-o may be associated with a bit value [1,1], where each bit of the respective bit value may be associated with an indication that UE 115 is to skip one or more uplink resources or is to avoid skipping one or more uplink resources.

[0171] Therefore, based on the number of bits used for indicating the additional information and the corresponding indication in the UCI, the UE 115 can determine the cyclic shift 410, use the determined cyclic shift 410 to generate a sequence associated with the UCI, and transmit the UCI so that the network entity 105 can decode the sequence, determine the cyclic shift, and receive the indication of the additional information. In this way, the UE 115 can use PUCCH format 0 to transmit the indication of the additional information via two or three bits in the UCI, thereby reducing signaling overhead in the wireless communication system, improving coordination between devices, and enabling the network entity 105 to use uplink resources more efficiently.

[0172] Figure 5 An example of diagram 500 supporting indication of uplink resources via UCI according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. Diagram 500 may implement or be implemented by aspects of wireless communication system 100, wireless communication system 200, diagram 300, and diagram 400 as described herein. For example, diagram 400 may be implemented by UE 115 and network entity 105, which may be a UE or network entity as described herein. Figures 1 to 2 Additionally, diagram 400 may include one or more cyclic shift diagrams 505, which may be as described herein with reference to Figures 3 and 4Examples of cyclic shift diagram 305 and cyclic shift diagram 405 are described.

[0173] The UE 115 may implement aspects of diagram 400 to transmit an indication of additional information, an indication of a scheduling request (e.g., a positive scheduling request), an indication of HARQ feedback, or any combination thereof via UCI in a PUCCH using PUCCH format 0, wherein the indication of additional information includes multiple information bits (e.g., up to two information bits). For example, each cyclic shift 510 in the cyclic shift diagram 505 may be mapped to or associated with a combination of an indication of a positive scheduling request, an indication of additional information, and an indication of HARQ feedback. Furthermore, each UE 115 in the wireless communication system may include an initial cyclic shift value such that, when determining a cyclic shift 510 to use for UCI, the UE 115 may offset the mapped cyclic shift 510 from the initial cyclic shift. Thus, the network entity 105 may receive each indication via UCI based on the cyclic shift 510 of the sequence used to generate the UCI.

[0174] In some examples, UE 115 may send an indication of the additional information via two bits and an indication of the HARQ feedback via a single bit. In such examples, UE 115 may determine cyclic shift 510 from cyclic shift diagram 505-a, where cyclic shift diagram 505-a may include four orthogonal cyclic shifts 510 (e.g., cyclic shift 510-a, cyclic shift 510-b, cyclic shift 510-e, and cyclic shift 510-f) mapped to or associated with two bits used for indicating the additional information (e.g., the CGskip bit). In such an example, the cyclic shift diagram 505-a may include four group-shifted cyclic shifts 510 (e.g., shift one: cyclic shift 510-c, cyclic shift 510-g, cyclic shift 510-d, and cyclic shift 510-h) to indicate a single information bit mapped to or associated with an indication of HARQ feedback.

[0175] As an illustrative example, cyclic shift 510-a, cyclic shift 510-b, cyclic shift 510-e, and cyclic shift 510-f may each be associated with two bits indicating additional information and associated with an ACK for an indication of HARQ feedback (e.g., a single bit indicating ACK). In such an example, cyclic shift 510-a may have a bit value [0, 0], cyclic shift 510-b may have a bit value [1, 0], cyclic shift 510-e may have a bit value [1, 1], and cyclic shift 510-f may have a bit value [0, 1], where each bit of the corresponding bit value may be associated with an indication that UE 115 is to skip one or more uplink resources or is to avoid skipping one or more uplink resources.

[0176] In addition, cyclic shift 510-c, cyclic shift 510-g, cyclic shift 510-d, and cyclic shift 510-h can each be associated with two bits indicating additional information and associated with a NACK (e.g., a single bit indicating NACK) for an indication of HARQ feedback. Thus, cyclic shift 510-c can have a bit value of [1, 1], cyclic shift 510-g can have a bit value of [1, 0], cyclic shift 510-d can have a bit value of [0, 1], and cyclic shift 510-h can have a bit value of [0, 0], where each bit of the corresponding bit value can be associated with an indication that UE 115 is to skip one or more uplink resources or is to avoid skipping one or more uplink resources.

[0177] In some other examples, UE 115 may send an indication of the additional information via a single bit and an indication of the HARQ feedback via two bits. In such examples, UE 115 may determine cyclic shift 510 from cyclic shift diagram 505-b, where cyclic shift diagram 505-b may include four orthogonal cyclic shifts 510 (e.g., cyclic shift 510-i, cyclic shift 510-m, cyclic shift 510-j, and cyclic shift 510-n) for the two bits associated with the indication of the HARQ feedback. In such examples, cyclic shift diagram 505-b may include four group-shifted cyclic shifts 510 (e.g., shift one: cyclic shift 510-k, cyclic shift 510-p, cyclic shift 510-l, and cyclic shift 510-q) to indicate a single information bit associated with the indication of the additional information.

[0178] As an illustrative example, cyclic shift 510-i, cyclic shift 510-m, cyclic shift 510-j, and cyclic shift 510-n can be associated with two information bits indicating HARQ feedback and associated with an indication of additional information (e.g., indicating that UE 115 is to skip one or more uplink resources). In such an example, cyclic shift 510-i can have a bit value of [0, 0], cyclic shift 510-m can have a bit value of [1, 1], cyclic shift 510-j can have a bit value of [1, 0], and cyclic shift 510-n can have a bit value of [0, 1], where "1" can indicate ACK and "0" can indicate NACK, and vice versa.

[0179] In addition, cyclic shift 510-k, cyclic shift 510-p, cyclic shift 510-l, and cyclic shift 510-q can be associated with two information bits indicating HARQ feedback and an indication that the UE does not skip one or more uplink resources. Thus, cyclic shift 510-q can have a bit value [0,0], cyclic shift 510-k can have a bit value [1,1], cyclic shift 510-p can have a bit value [1,0], and cyclic shift 510-l can have a bit value [0,1], where "1" can indicate ACK and "0" can indicate NACK, and vice versa.

[0180] In some examples, UE 115 may transmit an indication of additional information via a single bit in the UCI, transmit an indication of HARQ feedback via a single bit, and transmit an indication of a scheduling request via a single bit. In such an example, UE 115 may determine cyclic shift 510 from cyclic shift diagram 505-c, where cyclic shift diagram 505-c may include four orthogonal cyclic shifts 510 (e.g., cyclic shift 510-r, cyclic shift 510-v, cyclic shift 510-s, and cyclic shift 510-w) associated with two respective bits for indicating additional information and indicating HARQ feedback and associated with an indication of a scheduling request (e.g., a positive scheduling request). In addition, cyclic shift diagram 505 may include four group-shifted cyclic shifts (e.g., cyclic shift 510-t, cyclic shift 510-x, cyclic shift 510-u, and cyclic shift 510-y) associated with a negative indication of a scheduling request (e.g., a negative scheduling request).

[0181] As an illustrative example, cyclic shift 510-r, cyclic shift 510-v, cyclic shift 510-s, and cyclic shift 510-w may be associated with two bits indicating HARQ feedback and additional information (e.g., indicating that UE 115 is to skip one or more uplink resources), respectively, and a single bit indicating an indication of a scheduling request. In such an example, cyclic shift 510-r may be associated with an indication of a scheduling request, associated with an ACK for HARQ feedback, and associated with an indication of additional information (e.g., indicating that UE 115 is to skip one or more uplink resources). Alternatively, cyclic shift 510-s may be associated with an indication of a scheduling request, associated with a NACK for the indication of HARQ feedback, and associated with an indication that UE 115 is not to skip one or more uplink resources.

[0182] Similarly, cyclic shift 510-w may be associated with an indication of a scheduling request, associated with an ACK for HARQ feedback, and associated with an indication that UE 115 is not skipping one or more uplink resources. Alternatively, cyclic shift 510-v may be associated with an indication of a scheduling request, associated with a NACK for an indication of HARQ feedback, and associated with an indication of additional information (e.g., that UE 115 is skipping one or more uplink resources).

[0183] Furthermore, cyclic shift 510-y may be associated with a negative indication of a scheduling request, an ACK for HARQ feedback, and an indication of additional information (e.g., an indication that UE 115 is to skip one or more uplink resources). Alternatively, cyclic shift 510-x may be associated with a negative indication of a scheduling request, a NACK for HARQ feedback, and an indication that UE 115 is not to skip one or more uplink resources.

[0184] Similarly, cyclic shift 510-u may be associated with a negative indication of a scheduling request, an ACK of HARQ feedback, and an indication that UE 115 is not skipping one or more uplink resources. Alternatively, cyclic shift 510-v may be associated with a negative indication of a scheduling request, a NACK of an indication of HARQ feedback, and an indication of additional information (e.g., that UE 115 is skipping one or more uplink resources).

[0185] Therefore, based on these indications and the number of bits in the corresponding indication, the UE 115 can determine the cyclic shift 510, use the determined cyclic shift 510 to generate a sequence of UCI, and send the UCI via the PUCCH. The network entity 105 can receive the sequence and decode the sequence, determine the cyclic shift used, and receive the indication via the UCI. In this way, the UE 115 can use PUCCH format 0 to send an indication of additional information via two or three bits in the UCI, thereby reducing signaling overhead in the wireless communication system, improving coordination between devices, and enabling the network entity 105 to use uplink resources more efficiently.

[0186] Figure 6 An example of a process flow 600 for supporting indication of uplink resources via UCI according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure is illustrated. The process flow 600 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communication system 100, the wireless communication system 200, diagrams 300, 400, and 500. For example, the process flow 600 may include UE 115-b and network entity 105-b, which may be referenced herein. Figures 1 to 5 Examples of corresponding devices are described. In the following description of process flow 600, operations may be performed in an order different from the order shown. Certain operations may also be excluded from process flow 600, or other operations may be added to process flow 600. In addition, although some operations or signaling are shown as occurring at different times for discussion purposes, these operations may actually occur simultaneously.

[0187] At 605, UE 115-b may receive a control message (e.g., such as an RRC message) from network entity 105-b indicating a configuration of UCI (e.g., such as PUCCH-Config), the configuration supporting an indication of HARQ feedback, an indication of a scheduling request, an indication of CSI, and an indication of additional information, wherein the additional information may be an indication for UE 115-b to skip one or more uplink resources that have been configured for UE 115-b. The control message may be as described herein with reference to Figure 2 An example of a control message 210 is described.

[0188] In some examples, network entity 105-b may indicate, via configuration of a control message, one of five PUCCH formats (e.g., PUCCH format 0, PUCCH format 1, PUCCH format 2, PUCCH format 3, or PUCCH format 4) such that UE 115-b may use the indicated PUCCH format to transmit UCI via PUCCH. In some examples, network entity 105-b may indicate that UE 115-b is to use PUCCH format 0, in which case UE 115-b may proceed to 610. In some other examples, network entity 105-b may indicate that UE 115-b is to use PUCCH format 1, in which case UE 115-b may proceed to 615. In some other examples, the network entity 105 - b may instruct the UE 115 - b to use PUCCH format 2, PUCCH format 3, or PUCCH format 4, where in such examples the UE 115 - b may proceed to 620 .

[0189] At 610, in response to receiving a control message instructing UE 115-b to transmit UCI via PUCCH format 0, UE 115-b may determine a cyclic shift from a plurality of cyclic shifts (e.g., 12 cyclic shifts) associated with a sequence of UCI. UE 115-b may determine the cyclic shift based on whether the UCI is to include an indication of HARQ feedback, an indication of a scheduling request, an indication of additional information, or a combination thereof. Additionally, UE 115-b may determine the cyclic shift value based on an initial cyclic shift value associated with UE 115-b. Thus, UE 115-b may determine the cyclic shift value based on the initial cyclic shift value associated with UE 115-b. Figures 3 to 5 Techniques are described to determine the cyclic shift.

[0190] At 615, in response to receiving the control message instructing UE 115-b to transmit UCI via PUCCH format 1, UE 115-b may select at least one of a modulation scheme (e.g., QPSK or BPSK) or uplink resources (e.g., CGskip resources or scheduling request resources) to be used to transmit at least an indication of additional information. In such an example, UE 115-b may select the modulation scheme, uplink resources, or both based on whether the UCI is to include an indication of additional information, an indication of HARQ feedback, an indication of a scheduling request, or any combination thereof. UE 115-b may select the modulation scheme, uplink resources, or both based on whether the UCI is to include an indication of additional information, an indication of HARQ feedback, an indication of a scheduling request, or any combination thereof. Figure 2 Techniques are described to select a modulation scheme or uplink resources.

[0191] At 620, in response to receiving a control message indicating that UE 115-b is to transmit UCI via PUCCH format 2, PUCCH format 3, or PUCCH format 4, UE 115 may multiplex one or more bits associated with an indication of additional information with one or more bits associated with an indication of HARQ feedback, one or more bits associated with an indication of a scheduling request, and one or more bits associated with an indication of CSI. Furthermore, if UE 115-b is to use PUCCH format 3 or PUCCH format 4, UE 115-b may additionally jointly encode one or more bits associated with an indication of additional information with one or more bits associated with an indication of HARQ feedback, one or more bits associated with an indication of a scheduling request, and one or more bits associated with an indication of CSI. UE 115-b may multiplex one or more bits associated with an indication of additional information with one or more bits associated with an indication of HARQ feedback, one or more bits associated with an indication of a scheduling request, and one or more bits associated with an indication of CSI according to the present invention. Figure 2 The described techniques are used to multiplex such indications.

[0192] In addition, UE 115-b may map one or more bits associated with the indication of additional information, one or more bits associated with the indication of HARQ feedback, and one or more bits associated with the indication of CSI to respective priorities. Thus, a first priority associated with one or more bits associated with the indication of HARQ feedback may be greater than a second priority associated with one or more bits associated with the indication of additional information, which may be greater than a third priority associated with one or more bits associated with the indication of CSI. In such an example, if UCI exceeds capacity, UE 115-b may discard or otherwise exclude one or more bits associated with the indication of CSI.

[0193] At 625, UE 115-b may send UCI via a PUCCH using one of five PUCCH formats, wherein the UCI includes at least one of an indication of HARQ feedback, an indication of a scheduling request, an indication of CSI, or an indication of additional information. UE 115-b may send such indications according to the indicated PUCCH format.

[0194] In this manner, UE 115-b can improve coordination between devices and achieve more efficient utilization of communication resources. For example, by sending an indication of the additional information in the UCI, UE 115-b can indicate to network entity 105-b which uplink resources can be skipped, thereby improving coordination between UE 115-b and network entity 105-b. Furthermore, by sending an indication of the additional information, network entity 105-b can reschedule the skipped resources for use by other UEs 115, thereby resulting in more efficient utilization of communication resources in the wireless communication system.

[0195] Figure 7 A block diagram 700 illustrates a device 705 that supports indication of uplink resources via UCI according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure.

[0201] In some examples, the communication manager 720 can be configured to perform various operations (e.g., receive, obtain, monitor, output, transmit) using or otherwise cooperating with the receiver 710, the transmitter 715, or both. For example, the communication manager 720 can receive information from the receiver 710, transmit information to the transmitter 715, or be integrated with the receiver 710, the transmitter 715, or both to obtain information, output information, or perform various other operations as described herein.

[0210] According to examples disclosed herein, a communication manager 920 can support wireless communications at a UE. A control message component 925 can be configured as or otherwise support means for receiving a control message indicating a configuration for UCI, the configuration supporting an indication of HARQ feedback, an indication of a scheduling request, an indication of CSI, and an indication of additional information, the indication of the additional information being associated with a set of multiple uplink resources configured for the UE.

[0211] In some examples, the PUCCH is configured as PUCCH format 0, and the cyclic shift component 935 can be configured as or otherwise support means for determining a cyclic shift from a set of multiple cyclic shifts associated with the UCI based on whether the UCI includes an indication of HARQ feedback, an indication of a scheduling request, an indication of additional information, or a combination thereof, wherein the UCI is transmitted via the PUCCH based on the cyclic shift being applied to a base sequence.

[0212] In some examples, the cyclic shift includes an initial cyclic shift value based on the UCI only including an indication of additional information.

[0213] In some examples, the cyclic shift includes a first cyclic shift value that is offset from the initial cyclic shift value based on the UCI including only an indication of the additional information.

[0214] In some examples, the cyclic shift includes a second cyclic shift value based on that the UCI includes only an indication of HARQ feedback, the second cyclic shift value is offset from the initial cyclic shift value by a first value based on that the HARQ feedback includes a negative acknowledgment, or the second cyclic shift value is offset from the initial cyclic shift value by a second value different from the first value based on that the HARQ feedback includes an acknowledgment.

[0385] The functions described herein may be implemented using hardware, software executed by a processor, firmware, or any combination thereof. If implemented using software executed by a processor, the functions may be stored as one or more instructions or codes of a computer-readable medium, or sent using one or more instructions or codes of a computer-readable medium. Other examples and specific implementations are within the scope of this disclosure and the appended claims. For example, due to the nature of software, the functions described herein may be implemented using software executed by a processor, hardware, firmware, hard wiring, or a combination of any of these. Features that implement the functions may also be physically located at different locations, including being distributed so that the various parts of the functions are implemented at different physical locations.

[0386] Computer readable medium includes both non-transient computer storage medium and communication medium, and this communication medium includes any medium that promotes computer program to be transferred from one location to another location.Non-transient storage medium can be any available medium that can be accessed by general or special-purpose computer.By way of example and not limitation, non-transient computer readable medium can include RAM, ROM, electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), flash memory, compact disc (CD) ROM or other optical disc storage device, magnetic disk storage device or other magnetic storage device or can be used for carrying or storing desired program code components and any other non-transient medium that can be accessed by general or special-purpose computer or general or special-purpose processor in the form of instruction or data structure.Moreover, any connection is appropriately referred to as computer readable medium.For example, if software is to be sent from website, server or other remote source using coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, digital subscriber line (DSL) or wireless technology such as infrared, radio and microwave, then coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, DSL or wireless technology such as infrared, radio and microwave are included in the definition of computer readable medium.

Magnetic disks can reproduce data magnetically, and optical discs can reproduce data optically using lasers. Combinations of the above are also included within the scope of computer-readable media.

[0387] As used herein (including in the claims), "or" used in a list of items (e.g., a list of items followed by a phrase such as "at least one of" or "one or more of") indicates an inclusive list, so that, for example, a list of at least one of A, B, or C means A or B or C or AB or AC or BC or ABC (i.e., A and B and C). In addition, as used herein, the phrase "based on" should not be interpreted as a reference to a closed set of conditions. For example, an example step described as "based on condition A" can be based on both condition A and condition B without departing from the scope of this disclosure. In other words, as used herein, the phrase "based on" should be interpreted in the same manner as the phrase "based at least in part on."

[0388] As used herein, "satisfying a threshold" may mean that a value is greater than a threshold, greater than or equal to a threshold, less than a threshold, less than or equal to a threshold, equal to a threshold, not equal to a threshold, etc., depending on the context.

[0389] As used herein, including in the claims, the articles “a” and “an” preceding nouns are open-ended and are understood to mean “at least one” of those nouns or “one or more” of those nouns. Thus, the terms “a”, “at least one”, “one or more”, and “at least one of one or more” are interchangeable. For example, where a claim lists a “component” that performs one or more functions, each of the individual functions may be performed by a single component or by any combination of multiple components. Thus, the term “component” having a characteristic or performing a function may refer to “at least one of the one or more components” having a particular characteristic or performing a particular function. Subsequent references to a component introduced using the terms “the” or “the” along with the article “a” may refer to any or all of the one or more components. For example, a component introduced with the article “a” may be understood to mean “one or more components”, and subsequent references in a claim to “the component” may be understood to be equivalent to reference to “at least one of the one or more components”. Similarly, subsequent references to a component introduced using the terms “the” or “the” as “one or more components” may refer to any or all of the one or more components. For example, referring to "the one or more components" later in a claim may be understood as being equivalent to referring to "at least one of the one or more components."

[0390] The term "determining" encompasses a variety of actions, and thus, "determining" may include calculating, computing, processing, deriving, investigating, looking up (such as via looking up in a table, database, or other data structure), ascertaining, etc. Furthermore, "determining" may include receiving (e.g., receiving information), accessing (e.g., accessing data stored in a memory), etc. Furthermore, "determining" may include parsing, retrieving, selecting, choosing, establishing, and other such similar actions.

[0391] In the drawings, similar components or features may have the same reference number. In addition, various components of the same type may be distinguished by following the reference number with a dash and a second reference number to distinguish between similar components. If only the first reference number is used in the specification, the description applies to any of the similar components having the same first reference number, regardless of the second or subsequent reference numbers.

[0392] The description set forth herein in conjunction with the accompanying drawings describes example configurations and does not represent all examples that may be implemented or within the scope of the claims. The term "example" as used herein means "serving as an example, instance, or illustration," rather than "preferred" or "having advantages over other examples." The detailed description includes specific details to provide an understanding of the described techniques. However, these techniques can be practiced without these specific details. In some cases, known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form to avoid obscuring the concepts of the described examples.

[0393] The description herein is provided to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make or use the present disclosure. Various modifications to the present disclosure will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to other variations without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Thus, the present disclosure is not limited to the examples and designs described herein, but should be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
